About 250 volunteers will help fix the homes of three families in the Pilot Mountain area Saturday and Sunday, according to the Mount Airy News.

The volunteers will complete the shell of each home by putting up walls and installing roof trusses and gutters.

The event is sponsored by the Greater Mount Airy Area Habitat for Humanity with the help of a group called the Habitat Road Trip Crazies.

The "Crazies" travel to different states and assist Habitat for Humanity groups with building efforts, the paper reported.

The homes are at 147 VanHoy Way, 115 VanHoy Way and 2285 Old U.S. 52 South. The work is planned from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
